New experiences in flavors and textures await around every corner: vendors laden with goods calling for customers, diners sitting hunched on small plastic chairs, waiters bringing traditional dishes to visitors in fancy restaurants. Beyond the phở and bánh mì that most foreigners would invariably know, there are delights that you may be unable to get elsewhere. Learn more: Hanoi tours

Explore your itinerary:
Your shared or private tour will begin as you are picked up from your hotel or meet us at a suggested place in the Hanoi Old Town at around 18:00. We will visit a temple and take a walk around Hoan Kiem Lake while getting to know each other before exploring our Hanoi culinary world.
- Having an appetizer is not an official tradition before having a meal in Vietnam but we will have “Nom Bo Kho” (nộm bò khô) as a light and refreshing appetizer to start the food adventure. Nom bo kho is a fresh mix of thin sliced green papaya, Vietnamese herbs, roasted peanuts, and marinated dried beef with a family secret fish sauce recipe.
- “Banh Cuon ”- Vietnamese steamed rice rolls that are made with minced meat and mushroom or egg or pick the combination of all three if you prefer, will be the second dish tonight. We will watch how locals make Banh Cuon with their steamer and then enjoy the dish when it is still hot and fresh.
- Pho is served in every corner of Hanoi and they are great! However, there is a place that is known among locals for “the best Pho” and we are taking you to that place tonight.
- Oh God, President Obama has tried and complimented this dish! “Bun Cha” is simple but unforgettable with marinated grilled pork served with rice noodles, Vietnamese herbs, and again, the family secret fish sauce.
- Sip sugar cane juice with cumquat or try hot soup depending on the weather (the choice is various and different from cold to hot weather)
- The next dish is your choice, we can go for the classic Banh Mi (a crispy baguette, grilled meat, fried egg, sauce, Vietnamese herbs), Bun Thang (noodle soup, a very Hanoian dish that you can only find it here) or Pho Cuon (Only known and popular among locals)
- It is time to taste the signature of Hanoi Coffee- Ca Phe Trung (Egg coffee), a creamy soft, meringue-like egg white foam perched on dense Vietnamese coffee
- There is more! Our secret dish. You wouldn’t know what it is until you get there.
